all in all a good movie. knowing that it actually took place makes it all the better.true mayberry rfd's got nothing on it.but hell it too took place in a small town. i'd watch it again without reservation.
I grew up watching Opie, Andy, Flloyd, Goober, and Aunt B... so this movie felt familiar. It was totally small town Americana, with boats.Good movie, easy watch, vanilla ice cream without any shock value.Worth the watch.
Great movie, excellent actors and writing, I grew up visiting alot in Madison and Madison is a special place. I can still remember falling asleep at night hearing the clanking of the barges going up and down the river. Really enjoyed the movie and seeing that john mellencamp contributed to the music was a bonus, john and I went to school together and are second cousins, I am sure he delighted in the movie as well, he's a dedicated Indiana guy. I still have relatives in Madison and hope to get back there again soon.
i am from madison and i loved this movie it really shows what madison is all about and i am proud to say that miss madison is the top boat in racing now
I really enjoyed this movie. It really brought back memories of my childhood. We lived in Louisville when I was young and my parents had a place near Hanover Indiana where we'd spend alot of time in the summers during the mid to late 60's. This was not too far down river from Madison. Our house was right on the hill overlooking the river. We had our own dock and a boat we'd run around the river on. We would frequently see these same kind of racing boats running up and down the river. The music, cars, boats, Belle of Louisville steam boat and setting brings back so many memories from that time. Great story.
